A water supply apparatus 20 is mounted at the upper portion of the housing 1. The water supply apparatus 20 is placed between a frame 13 disposed onto the upper portion of the housing 1 and a cover 14. The water supply apparatus 20 is connected with a cool water faucet 28 and warm water faucet tab 29. The warm or cool water is fed into the water container 2 corresponding to respective washing processes.
In FIG. 2, the prior art water supply apparatus 20 comprises a cool water valve member 25 and a warm water valve member 26. Each of the valve members 25, 26 is comprised of a body 25B, 26B containing a valve which is not shown, inflowing pipes 25A, 26A receiving the water inflowed from the cool 28 or warm water faucet 29, and outflowing pipes 25C, 26C discharging the cool or warm water depending on the selective closing or opening of the valve. Furthermore, a pair of brackets 27, 27 project from the periphery of respective inflowing pipe 25A,26A adjacent to the body 25B,26B.
Openings 27A are formed at the upper and lower each bracket 27 and are aligned with openings 13C formed in the frame 13. Furthermore, in the frame 13 are formed a first through opening 13A and a second thru-opening 13B through which the inflowing pipes 25A,26A are penetrated. The opening 27A of the bracket 27 and the opening 13C of the bracket 13 are interconnected by a screw 23, whereby the valve members 25,26 are demountably secured to the frame 13.
The water supply apparatus structured as above has a problem in that a larger number of manufacturing processes are required. That is, respective openings are provided at the bracket and the frame, and the process in which the openings are assembled by the screw is further employed. Meanwhile, when the openings formed in bracket and the frame are misaligned, the screws cannot be inserted therethrough.
Furthermore, additional screws for assembling the bracket and the frame are needed, thereby causing another problem in that the quantity of components is increased.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate one embodiment of a water supply apparatus for a washing machine according to the present invention.
The water supply apparatus 40 comprises a cool water valve member 45 and a warm water valve member 46. Each of the valve members 45,46 is comprised of a body 45B,46B containing a valve which is not shown, inflowing pipes 45A,46A receiving the water inflowed from water faucets, and outflowing pipes 45C,46C discharging the cool or warm water depending on the selective closing or opening of the valve. Furthermore, a pair of brackets 47U,47L extend upward and downward from the periphery of each inflowing pipes 45A, 46A adjacent to the body 45B, 46B.
In a vertical side wall portion 30A of a frame 30 of the outer housing are formed a first groove 31 and a second groove 32 for slidingly receiving respective lower brackets 47L. Further, in the wall 30A are formed a first notch 36C and a second notch 36H for receiving lower halves of respective inflowing pipes 45A,46B.
In a vertical peripheral wall 70A of a cover 70 are formed a third groove 71 and a fourth groove 72 for slidingly receiving respective upper brackets 47U. Further, in the cover 70 are formed a third notch 76C and a fourth notch 76H for receiving upper halves of respective inflowing pipes 45A,46B.
In the water supply apparatus 40 structured as above, the lower bracket 47L of the cool water valve member 45 is slidingly fitted into the first groove 31 of the frame 30 as shown in FIG. 4. When the lower portion of the inflowing pipe 45A is rested on the first notch 36C, the third groove 71 of the cover 70 encompasses the upper bracket 47U of the cool water valve member 45, whereby the assembly process of the cool supply apparatus is completed. The assembly process is similarly applied to the warm water valve member. Thus, the water outlet pipes 45A, 46A are clamped between mating edges 30B, 70B of the wall portions 30A, 70A.
Alternatively, FIG. 5 illustrates a second embodiment of the water supply apparatus.
The water supply apparatus 60 comprises, as in the first embodiment, a cool water valve member 65 and a warm water valve member 66 Each of the valve members 65, 66 is comprised of a body 65B,66B containing a valve which is not shown, inflowing pipes 65A,66A receiving the water inflowed from water faucets, and outflowing pipes 65C,66C discharging the cool or warm water depending on the selective operation of the valves. Furthermore, a pair of brackets 67R,67L project rightward and leftward from the periphery of each inflowing pipe 65A,66A adjacent to the body 65B,66B.
In a vertical wall 50A, a frame 50 are formed slots 51R,51L for slidingly receiving respective right and left brackets 67R, 67L. Further, in the wall 50A are formed notches 56H,56C for receiving respective inflowing pipes 65A, 66B.
In this case, the cover 14 is formed with an ordinary configuration without the notches provided in the first embodiment. The downward edge of the cover 14 pushes the upper portion of brackets 67R,67L of the valve members 65,66 down, wherein the valve members 65,66 are held in the slots 51R,51L of the frame 50.
As explained in the embodiments, the frame has grooves or slots; and brackets corresponding to the grooves or the slots are formed in the body of the valve member. The brackets are slidingly fitted into the grooves or the slots, wherein the assembling time can be reduced and the components for joining the valve member and the frame are reduced so that the cost of manufacturing can be also reduced.
